Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for repair.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Clean or Replace the Throttle Body
  • Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body.
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft brush to clean any carbon buildup.
  • If the throttle body is damaged, replace it with a new unit.
  • Reinstall the air intake duct securely.
3. Inspect and Service the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
  • Locate the IAC valve, typically found on the throttle body.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the valve.
  • Clean the valve with throttle body cleaner or replace it if faulty.
  • Reinstall the IAC valve and reconnect the electrical connector.
4. Fuel System Check
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Start the engine and check the pressure; it should be within the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 55-62 psi for GMC).
  • If the pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel lines for issues.
